Abstract

A semiconductor device is disclosed, which includes bipolar transistor each having an emitter, base and collector formed inside each protruding portion of a semiconductor substrate, and trenches for device isolation. The bipolar transistor and the trench are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined spacing. According to this arrangement, the width of a base contact becomes uniform and any change of transistor characteristics can be prevented effectively.
